Cr:ow Agency Trouble.

AS we had anticipated, there
proves to have been more chaff
than grain in the much talked of
Grow Agency troubles, and the
long deplorable statements as re-
lated by parties at the agency
turns out to have been (the gener-
al result) only a mixture of bosh
and trash and the probable result
Of an excited mind or some one in
mortal dread of losing his scalp.
Gen. Ruger who was lately inter
viewed on the subject in the pres
ence of Lieut.. Gen. P. H. Sheri-
dan, said: ''This Indian trouble
has been greatly exaggerated.
From what is seen in the press of
the country, one would think that
all the Indians in the West were
on the war path. The fact is that
few of the Crows are excited be-
cause they will be compelled to
surrender some horse thieves"

ANOTHER PR0DiGAL IN "UNCLE|

Of the xxx Order Of Indian
Civilizers.
Fleeces His Confiding <sUncle,, to
the Tune Of $4,000.

From the columns of the Pioneer
Press Of Oct. 10Th, we glen the
following: "Jessie Lee Hall, In.
dian agent at the Kiowa, Conan.
che and Wichita agency in the
Indian Territory, has been discov-
cred to be a defaulter to the ex.
tent Of nearly $4,000 in govern
ment and Indian funds, and the
secretary Of the interior to-day re-
quested the attorney general to
commence criminal proceedings
against Hall for embezzlement."
Inspector Marcum, of the In
dian service, has been for some
weeks Investigating the accounts
of the agent and his report is near
~ 1000 pages in length, and now
lies at the interior department.. It
shows the affairs Of the agency to
be in deplorable condition, and
the. acting commissioner of Indian
affairs in his letter to the secreta-
ry advising prosecution, sunma-
rizes as follows:
F'The Inspector (Marcum) and
special agent e. E. White) both
agree that Agent Hall has been
guilty of criminal conduct in the
management of the agency by the
presentation Of false and fraudu-
lent and fictitious vouchers in his
accounts, in the conversion to his
personal use public money entrust-
ed to him as agent; in collision
with beef contractors for the pur-
pose of defrauding the government
also in collision with certain en-
ployes at the agency to defraud
the United States and the Indians
under his charge by false pay
ments Of grazing funds.'
Hall was appointed agent for
the Kiowas and Comanches July
%, 1887, from Lasalle county, Tex.
His recommendation at the interi-
or department. were among the
best ever received. The Judges of
the Texas court of appeals endorsed
Hall in body; the chief Justice
and one of the associate justices of
the supreme court of the state
wrote strong letters for him; Gov.
Scales Of North Carolina gives
him pleasant word; Senators
Maxey and Coke Of Texas and
Vance Of North Carolina are high
ly laudatory, while Charles Stew
art, the seven-foot Texan repre-
sentative, writes gushingly. Halls
bond is fixed at $4,000. He has
caused the Indian bureau no little
annoyance by his arbitrary man
ner of conducting affairs and leav-
ing the agency frequently with
out leave"
#. ALPS not gold that glitters,' and
all the gush and trash of laudatory
enc omiums from whatever sources

Isaac, Christ was the only con OF his father,
the Lord Almighty. and like him, he had all
things given to him by God, 'fO- all things
were made by him." and he has all power and
controls all things. And like Abraham's ser

do in the great work of salvation. He is CIV

and takes her to his home and presents his

But oh. what meeting that will be when Je-
